REVISED: Celebrate the 33^rd Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law July 26^th, 1990, by George H.W. Bush, provides civil rights protections to individuals with physical and mental disabilities and guarantees equal opportunity for all public services.
• 16.4% of Montana adults have one or more disabilities. The ADA ensures this population has the right to work, receive compensation, and access healthcare, transportation, education, and more!
• Did you know that the ADA National Network is a free resource that provides information and training on the Americans with Disabilities Act? Learn more about the resources you can access here: org/national-network.
